“Vaccines cause autism.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Decades of large studies and major health bodies find no causal link between vaccines and autism.
The claim is false. Vaccines have received some of the most scrutiny of any proposed cause of autism, and evidence-based studies have not found a causal link . PolitiFact's 2026 review concludes that decades of research do not show vaccines cause autism . Johns Hopkins likewise states that vaccines do not cause autism . The World Health Organization's vaccine safety committee reviewed new evidence in December 2025 and reaffirmed no link . The origin of the claim, Andrew Wakefield's 1998 MMR paper , rests on studies that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia calls critically flawed . The American Academy of Pediatrics, Autism Speaks and the Autism Science Foundation also say there is no credible link . The apparent connection comes from timing: autism signs often become noticeable around the age when children receive scheduled vaccines, but coincidence is not causation . The revised CDC webpage on autism and vaccines was assessed by FactCheck.org as not evidence-based , so it does not change the scientific record. The claim contradicts established scientific consensus and is actively disproven by multiple high-credibility sources.
